Periods

[Guest leo]

ok so i started my perod when i was like 16 but it was way random and had no pattern

so the doc put me on the pill, been on it for 2 years now, but i stopped taking it 6 weeks ago

but i havent had a period since

its been great but now im starting to get worried should i go to the doctors?

but i dont want to go back on the pill again, as im looking to transition

[Guest YaManShane]

Wow. I wonder why you dont get it. I dont think its nothing wrong with not having the period.

[Guest Cody_T]

I don't know how it works, but if you build up whatever chemicals in your system, it could take a little while for them to come back. six weeks is only enough time for one cycle, so I think there's still time for it to come back, especially if you said it was really irregular. Maybe wait a little while before going to the doctor, if you do want to.

[Guest Zabrak]

The only thing I can say is that(even if I'm far from a doctor of any sort) it sounds like Cody_T has a point - chemicals can take time to be flushed out of your system.

[Guest mia 1]

Leo always go to the Dr.

Never self medicate and you aren't but never self diagnose and you might be.

Dr's. really are better than we at diagnosis and evalution...Mia.

(God help me, why do people need to title threads with that word lol Don't you know it stresses me even to hear it lol)

Hmm.

With your bone structure, shoulder width, and how late and then irratic that was what I would be thinking of is having your natural homone levels tested pre-T AND having your chromosomes checked.

16 is rather late when you think of most of todays adolescents having that anywhere between 10 and 12 and if I remember reading correctly the extraordinary lateness is sometimes part of intersexing; some types of which would be "mild" enough to give you in appearance all the "normal" apparate and not have you have really any "drastic" reasons to look for it (like illness). Who knows, it might be sufficient to tip the scales in your favor with the docs and the insurance company if it were so. Either way though, keep an eye on it even though (as I was told) "When it goes away we don't really worry, its when it becomes too often that we get concerned. Those are the danger indicators." Still and all a doc is the best bet. As they say "he who has himself for a patient has a fool for his doctor."

[Guest Zack L]

That's odd. Maybe you should see if you could consult your doctor over the phone or something?

I'm having a sort of similarish issue. Mine has always been regular, since the first time I got it, and now it's almost 2 weeks late. Weird. XD Maybe all the Pre-T ftms are just suddenly boycotting our reproductive organs!

Uterus: I want to bleeeeed.

Ftms: No. You don't exist, no bleeding allowed!

Uterus: ...Okay then.

=D A foolproof theory. =P

Sounds reasonable to me. Mind over matter.

I'm no authority, not being a natal female, I have no first hand experience.

I do know however, that there is a reason for them, it isn't just to be unpleasant, it is necessary.

I would definately see a doctor, there is something going on that shouldn't be or more acurately something not going on that should be and that could lead to very serious health problems, please see your doctor.

I love you , Leo and I don't want to see you taking any risks with your health,

Sally

Well I was like 13 1/2, and I was for the most part regular (although my regular was always 45 days, almost to the day...) until like November...lol. Now I don't know if it even qualifies as (the title of this thread) because..well it's not working that way anymore. It's either continuous for weeks or nothing at all. And it's not like it's something I want to bring up to a dr. because 1.) it's not something I particularly enjoy talking about in general, and 2.) I don't want to be put on birth control because that would be an absolute nightmare, I think. But since I want my hormone levels tested anyway (testosterone levels, really), and I need to ask my parents for the money to do so, and this would give me a physical reason that I'm getting the test done (therefore I can avoid explaining to them everything that's going on..) I think I'm going to bring it up with my therapist. And like you said maybe it will help me out financially.

And did I mention, since you brought up bone structure and shoulder width....that I have like 34-34-35 measurements? lol. And arm strength that some people have assumed I got from working out...which I don't even do.

I hope my mind isn't too powerful, and this indicates something physical going on..

I would just ask a doctor...but maybe that's just me, dying to find an answer for everything. lol

[Guest Evan_J]

It's either continuous for weeks...

Doctor. ASAP. Danger Will Robinson.

<--is starting to think he needs to move next door to MG just to supervise his life (joking)

You need something MG, I think I'ma have to make you a long distance cousin at the very least to see what the heck you are doing.

[Guest Cody_T]

man, I don't even know if I was ever regular since I can't remember it from one time to the next... from that I learned that if you go to the doctor, never say it's been more than 28 days if you're just guessing- cause then they do a pregnancy test.

And MyGen, doctor. Now.

[Guest leo]

MG im calling 999 as i type lol!

nah but really get seen quick

im going doc's on thursday and im gona bring up being refered to a gender clinic to so ill tell ya all how it goes

[Guest TheShana82]

Just flying in with my random 2 cents....

My partner was on BC for about 6 years... when She stopped it didn't come back for almost 2 years. After lots of Dr. visits (and $$) over that time period... the conclusion was the body adjusting and the built up chemical wearing off...

Is it that dangerous?...I feel fine otherwise...lol.

Based on how "glad" every doc I spoke to was back when that I was not having the situation you are I would say "yes". I could be wrong, but I think past a certain time limit is what they consider "hemorraging", not in the "you'll bleed to death" way, but in the "we need to worry and check your cells" way.

It's very light though, but continuously so. Still I wouldn't consider it normal....but it's something I'd prefer not to "fix".

[Guest Zack L]

An update -- got mine this morning. So much for my theory. Nearly two weeks late though, weird. >_<
